Just a friendly reminder that DJ Cream will be running a JoJo’s ASB side tournament at EVO this year.
Evo 2k14 Side Tournaments: MBAACC, AH3LM, CC, AP and JJASB - JOJO’s All-Star Battle on PS3 will be the USA release. US DLC characters released by July 9, 2014 will be available (on my setup at least). Please be aware of the US Patch Notes.
Even though the date of the Facebook event says Friday, July 11th - that time slot is tentative due to the official EVO schedule not being released yet.
We need volunteers to bring setups to the tournament. So far, only the tournament host will have one. Please be aware that we need the US release too.
For any questions, you can ask DJ Cream at twitter.com/darylbunao or check the FB link below.
There was a DLC code in my JP copy of ASB, presumably for Fugo, however when I tried using the code, it didn’t work. Did I just miss the window when the code was active or something?
JP and US aren’t compatible, since they’re different versions (Ideally you would be getting the US version since it’s rebalanced and online is slightly more active, but I know some people get the JP version because it’s cheaper)
Yeah, you can get the DLC off the HK store, that’s what I did a year ago and it worked just fine.
Am I the only one who hates the online for this game? Its so frustrating to practice tight links in training mode to do fancy combos, only to go online and be forced to use the simplistic jab mashing combo system. If you have a good connection please send me a inv on PSN for some matches. PSN - Eyeofthundera822
The netcode is really bad…I’ve yet to find a solid fight. I’m a pretty precise player, so I’m not able to adapt to those conditions very easily. I try sometimes, but it very quickly become PB Dio and auto combos.
*Try to ask the people around here where they live at. Generally speaking, coast to coast connections are lagtastic. If the other person at least lives in the same area as you, the connection should be meh to great depending on distance. People that live on the same coast as you, but not the same region, will yield a mixed bag. ASB’s netcode does not aptly handle long distance connections.

As someone who is learning PB Dio at the moment: what do you mean by this ?
I’m quite new to the game and haven’t played online much, but every match has been a total lag fest. This evening I’m testing against someone who lives quite local to me, to see if it’s any better. Going to a tournament in 2 weeks that has JJBA:ASB as one of the games (Astral Heat in London). I doubt I’ll do well though
I believe that’s because he only has one BnB (His easybeat) with a bunch of super jump extensions (If you want to maximize damage), but otherwise he’s really straightforward, his PC combos are extremely easy as well (BnB, dash into BnB) so you shouldn’t be dropping them, not even online.
And then you have his HHA which is just a single hit so it doesn’t get scaled as bad (Plus it does amazing damage, especially on counterhit), it comes out extremely fast and it can punish certain stuff from full screen. Pair all that with his ability to can steal other character’s meter (So he should always have meter available to deal some damage or PC out of unsafe stuff you can’t super jump cancel) or life and well… that’s why he’s kinda sorta top tier online. People jump a lot in this game and fighting him in the air is almost impossible (And if you stay on the ground you have to be aware of his aerial chain, since that’s effectively a triple overhead)
Just remember to always super jump after a blockstring or special and get familiar with his oki and you’ll be good to go.
I don’t think he’s top tier, but he’s easy to pickup, has very strong tools and you don’t need a lot of execution with him (Again, unless you want to maximize damage), that’s why he’s so good online.
That all pretty much nails it. Plus, good luck accurately anti-airing Dios j.h anyways, it trades with most normal anti airs, giving him a hard knockdown. Add this to the lag environments and you pretty much have to master ground dashing/reverse dashing to make anything happen. Honestly, it can be played barely, but it is NOT the same game lol
